'The start of something beautiful’: Sanjoy’s opening ceremony attire uplifts Bangladesh

Bangladeshi-American DJ and music artist Sanjoy represented Bangladesh beautifully with his performance at the FIFA World Cup 2026 opening ceremony in Canada.

Sanjoy, who performed “SIIR SIIR” alongside Nora Fatehi and Vegedream, looked dapper in a maroon suit featuring intricate embroidery on the sleeves. The design proudly reflected Bangladesh through iconic national symbols, including the Bengal tiger, the national flower Shapla, and a red circle representing the country's flag.

Throughout the performance, he pointed toward his sleeves, highlighting his love and pride for his homeland. Celebrities including Pritom, Alif Alauddin, and many others congratulated him on social media, sharing clips of his performance and praising his achievement.

Sanjoy also shared a video of the FIFA performance on his Facebook page with the caption: “My People. This is just the start of something beautiful.”

Born in Srimangal and raised in Chattogram before moving to the United States, Sanjoy has often credited his multicultural upbringing for shaping his musical identity. Music also runs in his family, with both his mother and grandmother having been involved in music.
